Chapter 233: My Conscience is Clear

Does the Cloudless Monastery have many enemies? Fang Chen asked.

The Heaven Profound realm daoist hurriedly replied, Elder, theres stiff competition over this island. Many immortals covet this island, but the old reverend sent them packing. If they learn that this island has become a free territory, theyll surely come knocking once more.

Those cultivators are vicious. Its clear from a look that they arent orthodox.

Fang Chen pondered about it before nodding. Got it, but I wont become your reverend. Neither am I a daoist either. Change the plaque. Lets go with Shadow Courtyard.

The daoists didnt know what Hidden Courtyard was, but they were still delighted. At least they wouldnt have to worry about other cultivators for the time being.

Hidden Courtyard Li Huafeng murmured.

All of a sudden, he turned to Fang Chen with shocked eyes. It just so happened that Fang Chen also looked back at him at this juncture.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

I have heard that theres a peculiar force called the Great Xia Shadow Guards, but no one knows who they are or where they are from

To have heard of those four words, it looks like you havent been in the Court of Great Brilliance in vain.

It really is you Li Huafeng widened his eyes in realization.

That explained why the Great Xia Shadow Guards were so elusive. He had caught wind of their trail before, but he couldnt gather more evidence no matter how he investigated the matter. That wouldnt be surprising if Fang Chen was the one behind this.

Two hours later, a hundred daoists were gathered in front of Fang Chen in the Cloudless Monasterys main hall. Standing at the forefront were the three Heaven Profound realm daoists, whose cultivations were at first stage Severing Ki Severance.

Fang Chen had already crossed blows with martial artists of that caliber. Their inner ki had undergone a qualitative change, allowing them to faze spirit ki.

Report your backgrounds. Feel free to report anyone who conceals anything. Those who successfully made a report will be handsomely rewarded, Fang Chen ordered.

The daoists exchanged looks. They quickly revealed their backgrounds. Some were from grade-7 states, and others were from grade-8 states. Most of them had stumbled upon the Cloudless Monastery while searching for a path toward immortality.

In a sense, they were similar to Xia Yu, just that Xia Yu was accepted into the South Heaven Sect as a proper disciple, whereas they were just menial labor in the Cloudless Monastery. The old daoist had no intention of imparting his cultivation method to them.

You wish to become cultivators? Fang Chen asked with a smile.

The eyes of the crowd lit up.

The daoists looked as if they had been granted a new life. They knew that a new path awaited them from this day onward.

Fang Chen imparted Heaven One, Heaven Two, and Heaven Three with the first three stages of the Purple Aura Formula in front of the crowd before heading to the old daoists dwelling.

The spirit herbs there were worth from ki stones, but he didnt have the time to take care of them, so he decided to just take them with him.

Then, he looked at the spirit spring. It was a little small, but it should be enough for the daily use of around ten cultivators, though its effectiveness would be beneath that of using ki stones.

Fang Chen confirmed that no one was around before taking out the artifacts he had just obtained. He fed them all to little sword. Little sword was satisfied with the meal, and its aura further intensified.

How intriguing. Where are your daosoul imprints hidden? Fang Chen examined little sword, but he couldnt see through it despite his powerful soul.

That night, Fang Chen assimilated the storage ring left behind by the old daoist, and he found a twelve daosoul imprints artifact in it. Naturally, he fed it to little sword.

Other than that, he also found three jade sealsone containing the Five Elements Art, one containing the old daoists cultivation method, and the last one had the cultivation method that the Dragonback Lanes Boss You sold.

Fang Chen did some comparisons and found that the old daoists cultivation method was imperfect. It was enough to reach twelfth stage Ki Refinement, but it would take more time. In contrast, the Dragonback Lanes cultivation method was much better.

Both paled far in comparison to the Purple Aura Formula though.

Even so, the Purple Aura Formula was a beggar before an emperor when compared to the Three Thousand Dao Gates initiate manual. There was a massive gap between them. The immortal veins forged through the latter were much sturdier and thicker.

A Ki Refinement cultivation method is ones foundation. It determines how far one can climb. Fortunately, the cultivation method Elder Cloudcrane imparted to me is top-notch.

Thinking about it, the future of unaffiliated cultivators and ordinary sect disciples were decided from the very start, when they began practicing their respective cultivation methods. Unless they encountered a fortuitous encounter, it would be hard for them to overcome their invisible ceiling and reach the top.

In that regard, Fang Chen was truly fortunate.

He stowed away the jade seals. He was in no rush to explore the Five Elements Art. Instead, he astral projected his soul to keep an eye on Heaven One and the others.

If the Cloudless Monastery was linked to the Blood Spirit Cult, the old daoist and his disciples were definitely guilty.

Heaven One and the others were just martial artists, so it was unlikely for them to have received missions from the Blood Spirit Cult, but Fang Chen wouldnt overlook it as long as there was a chance.

Everyone was very excited that night. Heaven One and the others were focused on studying the Purple Aura Formula. No one displayed any anomalous movements.
